A fun, fast-paced and unusual story.

This is an interesting twist on a westen story. A bit of sex in it which was surprising, a bit of swearing as well. (Just wanted to note that for folks who are put off by that stuff) A little metaphysical tossed in as well.
Two gunslingers are saught out to help kill the Hawkline Monster. It takes a while to get to Hawkline, but when they do strange things happen. Its just a quirky odd enough read, its worth the time. A new twist on the old west.
